Public bug reported:
Both Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 have rustc 1.75, with additional versions up
to 1.80 in packages like rustc-1.77. However Rust 1.81 is not available
from the official repository of any LTS version (only oracular and
newer).
Rust 1.80 was released in July 2024, not long after 24.04 itself was
released. I would have naively expected additional packages in 24.04 to
go on until July 2026, but that doesn't seem to be the case. QEMU is
planning to introduce Rust (with a target of supporting Rust 1.83 and
newer); it would be a regression if it is not possible to build even on
the latest Ubuntu LTS release.
Is it planned to update the base rustc (plus rust libstd etc.) package
in 24.04 or alternatively to upload alternative Rust packages for
versions newer than 1.80? This situation where one LTS release got new
versions of the language multiple times over two years, and the other
basically never had any update, is confusing.
(I have already asked at askubuntu.com but got no answer).
